Mine were gritty before but now all of the hub bearings are pretty much locked up
. Let me know what you think of the plate(s).
The car is fixed but I changed the brake pads, cleaned the air filter, did a seafoam engine cleaner treatment to clean up the internals, changed oil, changed transmission fluid and working on installing new wheels. There is a small lip that needs filed off each corner of the car (where the weather shield caps go on the axle) for the rims to slide on properly. I got the car inspected yesterday and the mechanic didn't put my wheel lock back in the glove box. I was going to shave those lips off yesterday evening and had the car jacked up and everything...
. I probably won't have enough time to rebuild the buggy the way I want but it will be done.
